Hunter was a man who could rip a tree trunk from the ground with his bare hands or tame the wildest stallion with his kind manner. Nobody west of the Pecos would have dared run afoul of the mighty frontiersman. But Pete Reeve didn't have the reputation of a dead shot because he relied on his common sense. Then Bull and Pete crossed paths, and townsfolk from Cheyenne to San Antonio braced for the battle.
Max Brand writes great classic westerns and this is one of them. It's a tale of a big, strong but gentle man, Bull Hunter who means no harm. Bull learns life's lessons well as he travels away from his abusive relatives to enter the real world. Along the way he befriends a renowned gun fighter who takes him under his wing and trains him in the ways of a fast gun. Never losing his gentle manner and ways, Bull can't help but make new friends along his journey. But there are foes who want to end Bull's life. They find Bull a tough man to beat. The story glides along well with good characters and a sound connection between man and elements. This is one of the most enjoyable Max Brand tales I've read so far, although I love them all and I have several others by Max Brand Posted.. This book story is highly recommended, of course.
